    ethernet smoothstepper ports

    I am running win xp but I do have question. Since ethernetsmooth stepper emulates 3 parallel ports should there be 3 port in device manager?

    No, the ports are only available to Mach3.

    Gerry
    I got strange issue.
    I would like to run 2 bobs, this is one of the reasons I went with smooth stepper.
    I do know for fact both bobs are fully functional.
    Here is what is happening.
    If I swithch output 1 from port 1 --------- pin 1
    to port 2 ------ pin1
    second bob does not respond its not turning on and off output

    any idea?

    I've never used a SS, so I really don't have any idea.
